regarding incubation periods, defined as the time between
actual exposure and the manifestation of symptoms, Survive
Outdoors felt it would be handy not only for the medical provider

Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)

Conjunctivitis simply means that the conjunctiva of the
eye becomes red and inflamed. There are several types of “Pink
Eye,” allergic, viral, bacterial, and chemically-induced.
Bacterial conjunctivitis is a condition with which most of
us are familiar, and has an incubation period of 24-72 hours.
Allergic conjunctivitis, the results of allergens in the air,
usually occurs within 24 hours of the allergen exposure.

Survive Outdoors hopes that this list is helpful to you.
Obviously this is not an all inclusive list, but we hope that
reviewing this list will offer you a differential regarding
symptoms you may be having. Should you have any symptoms that
are concerning and last more than 2 days, you should seek
out a healthcare provider.
